Why Yes, I Give More For Games In Trade Than What They Sell For New…

<Ring>

“Gamer’s Edge”

“Yes, what would you give me for a copy of Madden 2001 for the PS2?”

“$25 in credit.”

“I talked to some other game stores, and they said they would give me $65 to $70.”

“Then I suggest you take it to them. I find giving more for a used game than what it sells for new to be a very poor business decision.”

<long pause>

“Uhm… how about $50?”

“No, no, no. I insist you take your game to one of those fine stores that undoubtedly seeks your business much more than I do, as they are willing to take such a loss for your benefit. Have a good day.”

Why do people try such obvious lies just to try and get more for their games? Do they believe anyone would price match such a ridiculous claim simply because of a zealotry to earn customers? Some people’s children.
